[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these schools are great, but Davidson is top-ranked. For years, Middlebury coasted on its reputation, but as metrics changed to outcomes, it ranked lower. Also, coming out of the Great Financial Crisis, Middlebury had some financial issues. Subsequently, it couldn’t compete as aggressively with other schools on financial aid and other investments. [/quote]
Where is Davidson top-ranked from this group?[/quote]

If you use SAT medians as a proxy Davidson is in the middle with Wesleyan

Middelbury  1500 median 
Wesleyan    1430 median
Davidson    1430 median
Denison      1370 median

Middlebury is a clear step above the others but they are all great schools and I would choose solely based on fit unless you were looking for Wall Street where Midd is one of the strongest SLACs probably second to Williams and closing.[/quote]

Worth noting that Wesleyan requires all enrolling students to submit their scores, even if they applied TO, and all of that data is included in their CDS. Not sure that’s true of any of the other schools, so this isn’t necessarily apples to apples. [/quote]
On its most recent CDS, Wesleyan includes SAT data for only 41% of its students and ACT data for only 17% of its students.[/quote]

No, those are the percentages of enrolled students who submit scores for admission consideration. The scores reflect all students who enrolled in the class. I don’t think most schools collect and report on all score info, so Wes’s CDS is a little different.[/quote]
